To be honest, seriously want to write “Carranger” into “Caaaaaaarranger” but for formality sake since this is the first episode, I will right it properly. Anyways, the biker gang, Bowzock has just destroyed the planet Hazard and turn it into fireworks and so, their next target is Earf, err, Earth!
To prevent it, the only survivor from the said planet Dappu saw the five car constellations shine towards Earth in which the five legendary warriors from their legend called, Carrangers are born! Turns out that our “warriors” are a bunch of kids working on an auto garage whose dream is to build their own dream car; what’s more is that their dream cars are the exact shape of the five car constellations! And so, the alien Dappu using his Kurumagic (trans. Car Magic) forced these kids to become the Carrangers! What a great way to open the series!
Anyways, there are two guys and a group who stood out in this episode namely, Dappu, Kyosuke and the Bowzock. First Dappu, for starters he is not your average Sentai mentor since based on what happened to him, he is younger than the Carrangers in terms of human age. What’s more is that he was able to force these guys to become Carrangers by FORCING the Accel Changer in their wrist using Kurumagic, tied them and DRAGGED them in the battlefield and to top it all off, he played dead just for these guys to feel the sense of justice of becoming heroes! That is why Dappu instantly became my favorite character in the series.
Kyosuke, because of him being honest on what is happening around him, I mean he expressed that they only build models of their dream cars and the first one who stood up after Dappu was “killed” with his duel from one member of the Bowzock. Also, he has that face that you love to screencap and use it in 4chan or in any message board if you want to express something.
Now for the Bowzock, they are the most colorful and fun bunch of villains that I saw. The foot soldiers are too colorful; the heads include a serious guy, a hot chick (who happens to be a porn actress) and a guy who wants to lick her fine ass. See what I mean? In addition, to add up the theme of the series of fighting for traffic safety, they also have the ability to cause non-living cars to come alive and wreck havoc.
Overall, it was a great first episode. Sure, the episode started quite dark and as the episode progressed, the mood of the series slowly became lighter which includes the humor and the events that happened with the Carrangers and finely establishing in the end that this is not your average Super Sentai series… and indeed it was.
